There is an opportunity to find joy in every aspect of our lives, be it work, relationships, passions or just the motonony of everyday life.

“We need joy as we need air.” - Maya Angelou

Whether it is improving communication in your workplace and relationships or capturing truly valuable leadership training, there is no reason not to love every step of the process. 

I have devoted my life to the concept of Radical Joy. The ideal that joy can be found in every single aspect of our lives and utilized to motivate people, encourage growth and enhance education and trainings. Radical Joy in speaking sessions and trainings means engaging people on a personal level. It means bringing humor and entertainment to otherwise less-than-interesting topics; it means giving people something of value while also making them feel valued themselves.

Current Training Programs Available Include:

  • Identifying Your Communication Strengths & Weaknesses
  • Emotional Intelligence: What’s Your EIQ?
  • Scoring Goals: How to Create Successful Goals in Work & Life
  • Do MORE with Less: Burnout & Time Management
  • Resolving Every Conflict
  • Building Resilience: You CAN Do This!
  • Ethics: Making it Relevant and Important
  • Think Critically, Act Decisively
  • And More!

Don’t hesitate to reach out if there is a topic, subject or training you don’t see; I am constantly developing new trainings and can help design the perfect training for you or your team. I’m always open to any questions you may have about determining which trainings are best!

A Bit About Travis

Professional dialogue taking place in a contemporary office environment with emphasis on communication and engagement.

In 2021, my family and I were nearly killed when a falling tree crushed the bedroom in which we were sleeping. It became a crystallizing moment where I saw the value in every single moment life has to offer. There is joy to be seized in every second of every day. I want to help you find that same joy in the aspects of your life where it is needed most.

Since I was a child, I’ve been up on stages, and there is no greater joy than seeing people satisfied and feeling like they gained something from hearing me present. There is nothing I want most than to help people be their best selves and to find joy in everything that they do.

I was asked the question, if money was no object and you could retire tomorrow, what would you do?

The honest answer is first, fly to multiple culinary cities and try the greatest meals the world has to offer, (including the amazing Nodoguro here in Portland.) Then, I would devote everything to speaking to people and sharing the message of Radical Joy.

Let’s seize this moment!

-Travis
